The BBC has removed contestant Asif Munaf from 'The Apprentice' and its spin-off show following allegations of antisemitism related to 'hideous' anti-Semitic posts on social media. The decision came after antisemitic posts allegedly made by Munaf surfaced, leading to public backlash and complaints. Munaf has since broken his silence on the matter, though his comments were not detailed in the tweets. The editing out of Munaf from the show, including 'You're Fired' scenes, has been described by viewers as 'awkward,' highlighting the challenges faced by the production team in responding to the controversy. The issue has sparked a significant reaction under the hashtag #TheApprentice.
